I'm in NorCal and craiglist is great over here for homing chickens. Usually, when I have chicks, they will all be spoken for after about 24 hours of the ad being up. Of course that might be because they are show quality, but most of the chickens posted on CL seem to go quickly here.

We got a wonderful Turken Roo from the Missouri Humane society through Petfinder. He had been at the Rescue Ranch since last June and was the last of his flock left. He was also next on the list to be euthanized if something new came in since they were about out of space. He's great. Gentle temperament, good with the hens, just an all around nice bird.

He cost us $5 plus gas. Not a bad investment.

We had gone roosterless since right before Christmas when our other roo decided to go spastic and start flogging anyone who walked into "his" coop or yard, including me several times, my daughter, my son and husband. He was Christmas dinner for hubby and I. The girls definitely do better with a roo around though according to our contract with the Rescue Ranch we can't use him for breeding. They don't fix chickens. It's just not done.
